Francisco Lindor: Buck Showalter Hasn't 'Lost the Team' Amid Mets' Struggles
New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor strongly denied the notion that manager Buck Showalter has lost the team amid its disappointing 36-43 start.
"He has not lost the team," Lindor said, per SNY's Andy Martino. "He is still in the front. He is still holding on to the clubhouse. I told him last year, if he posts up, I'll post up. And he had posted up every day."
Lindor also said that Showalter "is one of the best managers in the league," among other comments defending his manager. The shortstop later added that Showalter has "done everything he can in his power to push us to be better and hold us accountable."
